Population justification: The global population is suspected to number fewer than 50,000 mature individuals (Partners in Flight 2022), thus it is placed in the band 20,000-49,999 mature individuals here.
Trend justification: The population trend has not been investigated, but due to its dependence on forest declines are suspected as a consequence of logging and habitat conversion. Tree cover within the range has been lost at a rate of 8% over the past ten years; since 2016 this has been accelerating to a rate equivalent to 12% over ten years (Global Forest Watch 2021, using Hansen et al. [2013] data and methods disclosed therein). Therefore, population declines are here tentatively placed in the band 10-19% over ten years.
